Just a lil note

NOLA is a redesign of Twinbrook. I redecorated many rabbit holes and tweaked several venues, added lots and genreally did some mucking about to give it the feel of New Orleans. I was helped along by some fantastic Simmers. So i thank the simmers who helped from my Shotgun Home Challenge( http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/328461.page and the simmers from the Friendly Simmers chat thread http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/304822.page who helped me along and encouraged me and donated simselves and shared patterns to the town. I will try to note the houses from the challenge when i can but i do get a lil confused and forgetful so right now..Thank you all credit to all of you!

Peeking in to Sims Real Lives!!

NOLA is a large sim city and the people are like and other in the simverse, just getting on with the daily grind.

Lets look in on the small humble home of the Robinsim family. Larry and Phoenix Robinsim and their young toddler son Keiron.

It's morning, Phoenix is up getting online checking email and sending messages to Kierons grandparents. Meanwhile Larry is up getting Kieron out of the crib.

And after the kiddo's had his vittles it's time for some learning.

Photobucket
Kieron is really good when it comes to the word love!!
Photobucket
Here's dad home and playing some video games! yes the gamer geek needs some chill down time after a busy day of grading papers and dealing with unruly children.
Photobucket
while Kieron plays the parents have a chat, "we dont go out anymore..so call a sitter..great let's head out, just after we get him to bed!"
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

Photobucket

Hmm it's late , theater's closed, let's go to the river walk and gaze at the stars~!
Photobucket
and so they sat and chatted and soon the sun was coming up!
Photobucket
Let's cut through the square and head back home!! Boy time flys!
Photobucket
Here you are sitter take care and dont spend it in one place!
Photobucket
Oh no sir we have a couple hours before the kiddo wakes up you get away from that computer
Photobucket
Hey get out of here ::closes the window::
Photobucket

Across town someone is getting startling news!!

"Hello, yes, whats going on?"
Photobucket
"another one!! i didnt even know she was expecting.."
Photobucket
I present to you Javert Deberoux
Photobucket

Big sis hides in the Nannies house to do her homework..oooh that baby can cry!!
Photobucket

Mother Claire is wiped, good night baby sweet dreams..im off to party!!
Photobucket

No worries Nannie Colette has him well taken care of.
Photobucket

"Party time yes..im on my way.."
Photobucket

Photobucket
"moved! to another night..oh darn"
Photobucket
" Well i still brought you a gift!"
Photobucket
:::hmm wonder how the babys doing, maybe i shouldnt have left::
Photobucket

Photobucket
Photobucket

Photobucket
::Mamma's home:: Happy Baby
Photobucket

::shuts the window::

And the evening rolls on, across the town out in Bayou country, the Stapler Family resides, it would appear they have a late night , unwanted, guest darkening their patio.
Photobucket

"Yes sir i know it's late but a waneing moon is the perfect time to buy a new Vacumme, and it's only been preowned for a hundred yrs!!"
Photobucket
Photobucket

Now that she's taken care of , Randolf Stapler heads inside, momentarily stopping at the brandy. Photobucket
before snuggling in next to beloved Cara for the night, where he dreams of scavenging the dump for treasure.
Photobucket
Morning rises and He's first out of the bed, and for Randolf the teacher, first period science is on his mind.
Photobucket
He heads outside for some fresh air, their charming bayou home providing excellent early morning fishing opportunities. Photobucket
Photobucket

oh fished a bit too long time to run for the carpool, good thing he was dressed under that robe!
Photobucket

Back at home Cara the bookworm reads for abit before rushing out to her job as a Paramedic.
Photobucket
Just enough time for a snack before the carpool arrives
Photobucket
Photobucket
Maybe took a bit too long eating, run run don't be late!
Photobucket
Back at the school Randolf leaves, a bit disappointed at once again being turned down for the promotion.
Photobucket
He cheers up by heading to the City Botanical Garden and harvests some special ingredients.
Photobucket
Cara is home again and her nose is in a book in no time :) She heads outside on the porch to enjoy and wait till Randolf returns.
Photobucket
Photobucket

When Randolf arrives after briefly sharing his concerns for being passed over with the school for promotion, he set's to work pepping himself up in the Mirror to ask his bosses about advancement.
Photobucket
Cara watches for a few minutes and puts it this way " Why not make it happen, Surely we can use a lil magic to bring us good bounty! The world works in Mysterious ways after all!"
Photobucket
After a quick change Cara begins to read from the magic tome. Randolf changes into a robe and stares in the mirror thinking of what he wants.
Photobucket
Photobucket
UHOH!!!! Cara's finished reading and Randolf is well....somewhat grey!!!
Photobucket
Randolf checks himself out wondering if it's reversible.
Photobucket
Back to the book!
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

OOOOOPS nope sorry Randolf this is not reversible! (though it may fade in 6-8 wks ;))
guess one shouldn't fool with magic for personal gain after all!! ::WAAAH WAHH WAHH sound::

The homes in this entry with the exception of the middle story (the Deberoux's) were created by sims3 forum users for my Shotgun contest.

Several custom patterns have been used please check out http://www.thesims3.com/userExchange.html?selectedAsstType=all&persona=BD5141, BD5141 makes excellent patterns and they are used through out my builds.
